LOVE ME AGAIN, MATE novel Chapter 2

Giana.

What is happening?

I take a stumbling step back. My tight grip on the supposed gift grinds it into a ball of useless paper but it does nothing to console my tensed muscles.

I can't watch this.

I slowly turn around and dash to my room. The only place my stupid mind leads me to. Everyone is occupied with the perfect view to notice the young girl in distress.

I don't believe what I just saw.

Is he silently rejecting me? How will Jace get himself a girlfriend of all the people?

The pain I feel in my chest is unbearable.

My heart is aching so badly that I want to rip it out. I wanna cry but my tears refuse to oblige. This is shocking and I could have never imagined this would happen in my whole lifetime. Especially with Jace.

It can't be.

Jace would never hurt me.

I lock the door and slide on it until my butt is touching the cold floor.

The window on the right side of my room forcefully opens and my gaze immediately lands in that direction. I didn't even smell him. I quickly stand up a bit nervous when I look into his black eyes.

They are as black as coal signifying his wolf is in full control. How could he allow our mate to take another she-wolf instead of us?

He is supposed to protect us.

"Mate" he whispers, hurriedly covering the distance between us. I don't move. I just stare at the boy I have loved all my life in sheer wonder.

He grew his hair. My Jace went ahead and pierced his ears, he is no longer the innocent boy I knew. Fuck! He used to hate tattoos but this Jace has almost his whole body covered in them. Was it out of peer pressure?

Maybe I don't know him anymore.

The moment he touches my arms. It's like a big pull forces me towards him and overwhelming emotions take over. At that moment of weakness, my wolf takes control and everything else becomes a blur.

"I'm sorry, it shouldn't have happened" he regretfully whispers while putting on his clothes. How I ended up naked on my bloody bed, only my wolf can answer that.

From how shattered clothes are dispersed around the room and my aching body, my wolf went far. I don't blame her though, she's three days old and I haven't even shifted yet, she is still completely primal.

"Jace" I plead in a whisper to earn his attention.

"No one should know about this, you being my mate doesn't change a thing, Giana. I have a girlfriend now" he never said my full name from the beginning.

The moment I told them my name he had turned it to Ana and it stuck. Also, Jace never used that voice on me. The cold commanding and threatening tone.

"You are my mate" I mumble in defeat, finally finding the courage to cry. I slowly get out of the bed and fall into his arms. Jace does not hold me back and my heart aches more.

Is this really happening?

He looks down at me like I'm irritating him. "Please don't leave me, Jace, we wanted this right? We waited for so long for this Jace. We're finally mates" I desperately shake his arms like it's gonna snap sense back into his head.
